Cuomo Says He Wants Amtrak Out of Tunnel Project

Gov. Andrew Cuomo proposed cutting Amtrak out of efforts to rebuild a critical rail tunnel beneath the Hudson River and is seeking new estimates about what it would cost to construct a new tube connecting New Jersey to Manhattan.

The new plan emerged Wednesday after the governor had lunch at the White House with President Trump, which Mr. Cuomo said was scheduled after he produced a video showing saltwater damage and deteriorating conditions in the existing tunnel, built in 1910.
